Fish oil absolutely does not assist heart

health.

If you still think it does, then consider the import of this science: • As reported in the New England Medical Journal in May 2013, an extensive well-done study (12,000 patients, 860 doctors, double-blind, 5-year follow- up) in Italy showed that fish oil was completely ineffective in preventing heart disease (either primary or secondary cardiovascular disease) for its very large group of high-risk patients. • Soon thereafter, with reasoning based on this study, Dr. Eric Topol — renowned cardiologist at Scripps Health (La Jolla, California) and editor-in-chief of Medscape, and Medscape’s premier publication for cardiologists, theheart.org — recommended discontinuing all fish oil supplementation for the prevention of heart disease. Here’s Dr. Topol’s statement: “I have an awful lot of patients that come to me on fish oil, and I implore them to stop taking it… It’s been a fishy story for a long time.... If it doesn’t work in this group [high risk patients], it’s hard to imagine in lesser-risk groups that it’s going to have any salutary impact.”

Fish oil increases endothelial [lining of the

blood vessels] platelet adhesion in heart

patients.

In another well-done study, in patients with atherosclerosis, platelet adhesion increased and Prostacyclin (PGI) biosynthesis [produced in endothelial tissue]... fell by a mean of 42 percent during the fish-oil period.... Synthesis of the platelet agonist Thromboxane A (TXA) [produced in the platelets] declined by 58 percent. Template bleeding times were significantly prolonged in all the patients. All of this is totally the wrong direction as atherosclerotic patients absolutely require less platelet adhesion and increased PGI output; and decreased TXA without adequate PGI output is insufficient to maintain healthy endothelial cells. If those markers aren’t enough, the overall effect from the fish oil was increased bleeding times, and absolutely no endothelial protection. (From Knapp, H, et al., “In vivo indexes of platelet and vascular function during fish-oil administration in patients with atherosclerosis,” The New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 314, April 10, 1986, No. 15).

DHA and fish oil are shown as completely

worthless in treatment for Alzheimer’s (2010).

The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) dispelled the notion that DHA (fish/marine oil) is beneficial with published trial result in 2010. The conclusion from this trial result is that if fish/marine oil supplementation won’t help the cognitive results of persons with low DHA then it won’t help persons with normal levels either. (Quinn, J, et al., “Docosahexaenoic Acid Supplementation and Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer Disease: A Randomized Trial, ”Journal of the American Medical Association, November 3, 2010, Vol. 304, No. 17, pages 1903–1911.)

Fish oil increases the risk of colon cancer

(2010).

Cancer Research medical journal revealed startling information: “The findings support a growing body of literature implicating harmful effects of high doses of fish oil consumption in relation to certain diseases.” This was following a study showing that mice who were fed fish oil developed deadly, adenocarcinoma (cancer of colon lining), tumors, and severe colitis in as little as four weeks. (Fenton, J., et al.,“Link Between Fish Oil And Increased Risk Of Colon Cancer In Mice,” Medical News Today (Colorectal Cancer), Article URL: www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/203683.php#post, October 7, 2010; and Woodworth, Hillary, L., et al., “Dietary Fish Oil Alters T Lymphocyte Cell Populations and Exacerbates Disease in a Mouse Model of Inflammatory Colitis,” Cancer Research; 70(20); 7960–9; 0008–5472.CAN- 10-1396; Published online first on August 26, 2010; doi:10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-10-1396.)

Fish oil ruins mitochondria functionality

(2006).

Fish oil ages (reduces the function of) mitochondria. Since mitochondrial functionality is a prime anti-aging factor, and fish oil negatively impacts mitochondrial functionality — every time you take fish oil, you are aging a little faster than if you hadn’t taken it. (Fantin, VR, et al., “Attenuation of LDH-A expression uncovers a link between glycolysis, mitochondrial physiology, and tumor maintenance,” Cancer Cell 2006; 9:425–434.)

Fish oil accelerates aging.

Fish oil increases oxidative stress and decreases lifespan — it decreases cellular function, and causes organ dysfunction. (Tsuduki, K., et al., Long-term intake of fish oil increases oxidative stress and decreases lifespan in senescence- accelerated mice,” Nutrition 27, (2011), pages 334–337)

Fish oil does not slow atherosclerosis in

patients with existing arterial disease (2002).

This trial shows that after two years, the progression of atherosclerosis did not lessen. Harvard Medical School showed similar results published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology in 1995. (Angerer, P., et al., “Effect of dietary supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids on progression of atherosclerosis [plaque buildup in interior of arteries] in carotid [heart to brain] arteries,” Cardiovascular Research; 54:183–190, 2002.)

Fish oil continues to fail in preventing cancer

(2012).

This randomized trial shows that men taking fish oil showed no improvement. However, “... women were more than five times as likely to die of cancer if they had taken the omega-3 pills....” (Women had a three-fold increased risk of contracting cancer, too.) (Note: Men were likely not adhering to taking the supplement as requested, thus they at least did not worsen.) (www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/14/us-vitamin-b-fish- oil-idUSTRE81D1TT20120214. Ref.: Andreeva, Valentina A, “B Vitamin and/or ω-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation and Cancer: Ancillary Findings From the Supplementation With Folate, Vitamins B6 and/or Omega-3 Fatty Acids (SU.FOL.OM3) Randomized Trial,” JAMA Internal Medicine (formerly Archives of Internal Medicine), 2012;172(7):540–547.)

Study confirms link between high blood levels

of omega-3 fatty acids [fattyfish/fish oil] and

increased risk of aggressive prostate cancer.

A 2013 study confirms there is a link between high blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids [fatty fish/fish oil] and increased risk of aggressive prostate cancer. The study results show that consumption of fatty fish and fish-oil supplements is linked to 71 percent higher risk. In the study, there were 834 men who were diagnosed with prostate cancer and 1,400 men who did not develop the disease, making this a very credible, high-caliber, study. Of course, these are relative risks, but the trend is clear — increasing patient risk of prostate cancer with marine oils. By contrast, PEOs DID NOT pose such risk—to the contrary—PEOs reduce the risk of contracting prostate cancer. [Note: The positive effect of PEOs is even shown here with use of adulterated/ non-organic versions. We would expect a much greater preventive effect with organic/unadulterated versions.] (http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2013/07/0 9/jnci.djt174. Ref.: Brasky, Theodore, M., et al., “Plasma Phospholipid Fatty Acids and Prostate Cancer Risk in the SELECT Trial,”

Fish oil adversely affects chemotherapy

(2011).

Researchers at the University Medical Centre Utrecht in the Netherlands issued a major new warning in Cancer Cell to stop taking fish oil because it can make chemotherapy drugs ineffective. By contrast, PEOs increase chemotherapy effectiveness. (ww.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/234263.php, Roodhart, Jeanine M.L., et al., “Mesenchymal Stem Cells Induce Resistance to Chemotherapy through the Release of Platinum-Induced Fatty Acids,” Cancer Cell, 2011; 20 (3): 370 DOI: 10.1016/j.ccr.2011.08.010.)

Results Favor the Parent (Seed Derived) Oils

and Not the Derivatives From Fish

An early Brian Peskin supporters, Abram Ber, M.D., a renowned homeopathic and preventive medicine doctor summed up his clinical experience with fish oil and PEOs as follows: “Having implemented EFA supplementation for over 25 years, clinical results were mediocre until I began using your [Brian Peskin] protocol. Dr. Rudin’s work with flax oil was important but lacked clinical effectiveness; likewise with Horrobin regarding GLA [Gamma-linolenic acid, a plant-based omega-6 fatty acid] from borage, black currant, and evening primrose oils. Unlike the studies suggested, fish oil, too, was disappointing. With the Peskin (PEO) Protocol I experienced clinical success. I have seen positive results (dermatological, cardiovascular, pediatric, and neurological) in over 100 of my patients.” Abram Ber, MD.

In 2012, fish oil became America’s most widely sold supplement. So, then why does Brian Peskin keep saying that people should “not supplement with fish oil” — that it’s not a healthy practice. Does Brian Peskin have the correct viewpoint on this issue while “everyone else” is wrong? Actually, there are a growing number of scientists who are joining Brian Peskin in saying that, at best, people don’t need to supplement with fish oil, and that at worst, fish oil does more harm than good by accelerating aging. Many populations of healthy people (Hunzas, Ikarians, etc.) rarely eat cold ocean water fish (which are the type of fish that have the greatest amount of DHA and EPA and from which fish oil supplements are derived). It’s certainly not “normal” to eat the amount of DHA and EPa that are in today’s widely consumed fish oil supplements. Finally, consider that a normal daily dosage of 1 to 2 capsules of fish oil, requires 17 to 34 pounds of fish to be killed each day. This page is designed to help you decide to believe the truth about fish oil. Consuming fish oil supplements is not a healthy practice —but you need to understand why not or you will be swayed by authoritarians who tell you that it is.

Practice Ages Their Bodies and Increases Their Likelihood of Cancer and Cardiovascular

Challenges, And Causes the Death of So Many Fish, Is A Good Thing?

The reasons that so many people continue to supplement with fish oil include: • Authoritarian Statements Are Very Difficult to Get Out of the Human Brain — (When one hears seemingly important statements from an authority figure, a strong brain imprint is made and it’s not easy, afterwards to undo the pattern made in the brain.) “You cannot by reasoning correct a man of ill opinion, which by reasoning he never acquired.” — Jonathan Swift • We’ve Been Bamboozled — “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge—even to ourselves— that we’ve been so credulous.” ― Dr. Carl Sagan • Reasoning is the only antidote — each person needs to personally “reason” upon the science, coming to understand the issue individually rather than accept the authoritative statements of others who have been misled into believing that fish oil is healthy. Unless we choose to reason for ourself, we cannot undo the belief in the “lie”. • The fish oil fallacy — appears to have its root in the scientific fact that derivative Omega 3 (i.e. DHA) is a significant component of brain, heart and nerve tissue. But, that fact does not mean that we need to supplement with DHA, just like cows don’t need to supplement with calcium to have calcium in their milk. Yet, many assume that one is wise to supplement with fish oil since if human tissues have DHA in them, then getting more from supplements must be a good thing (but, it’s not a good thing). Nevertheless, that fish oil fallacy has been repeated so much that the “erroneous correlation” of fish oil to health has turned into a major highway of mistaken belief.

Fish Oil Failures

Reliable science shows that fish oil either fails to help or worsens these conditions: • Alzheimer’s • Macular Degeneration • Colon cancer • Immune system disorders • Skin cancer • Cardiovascular disease • Blood sugar levels—increasing insulin resistance and blood glucose levels • Incessant hunger—contributing to the obesity epidemic • Athletic performance issues • Platelet movement in patients with existing vascular disease • Abnormal heart rhythm—atrial fibrillation (AF) • Inflammation • Depression • Chemotherapy ineffectiveness If you’d like to read more science, please buy the book The PEO Solution by Brian Peskin. It’s the most important health read today.

Is Fish Oil good for anyone?

The answer is yes, possibly, but only for these three classes of people: 1. The first group of people who could possibly benefit from fish oil supplements are those people who don’t get enough Parent Essential Oils in their diets. However, there is much better solution — one that avoids all the problems of fish oil overdoses, which is, to supplement with PEOs, instead of fish oil. 2. The second group of people who could (possibly) benefit from fish oil are people who have over-active immune systems, and need to take a “safer drug” than chemotherapy, since fish oil has been shown to “reduce immune activity”. In this case, fish oil functions like a “soft-drug”. Care needs to be taken, however, because one would have the side effect of lowered overall resistance to infection. This is essentially using fish oil like a steroid. 3. Fish oil sellers benefit in the form of profits. Please note, however, though it takes 17 lbs of fish to make one capsule of fish oil. Fish oil sellers may be helping themselves, but they definitely aren’t helping the world by destroying that many fish — and for what - a fish oil fallacy?
